2 sene önce yürümekte bile zorlanırken Halil Hoca'nın değerli ellerine emanet etmiştim kendimi. Halil hoca ve ekibi o kadar sıcak kanlı ve güvenelirdi ki ameliyata gülerek girdiğimi hatırlıyorum. Merdiven bile çıkamadığım günlerden kilometrelerce koştuğum günlere gelmemde yardımı olan herkese çok teşekkür ediyorum.
